This Queen Anne-style house was originally built in 1881 by Mr. George Foreman and purchased in 1891 by Frank and Fannie Bartlett for $15,000, a hefty sum for that time. The house features nine rooms decorated in turn-of-the-century Victoriana and seven fireplaces, each different in design and composition. You will notice the intricate detail work in every room and that each room has a different floor design, some with as many as seven different woods imported from around the world. The Tiffany-style staircase window, the woodwork throughout, and very interesting period furnishings, all present a wonderful tour back in time.
